Re: Online reviewers: why can't they cope with the C1 Moonphase?

Disappointing claptrap Jody: I expect better from you. Why does it bother you if someone has a different view to you? I was a bit taken aback to hear that the lack of markers is such an issue and that's what puzzles me, the notion that we can't work our way round a circular object and visualise cho...

Re: One of these has just arrived..

Maybe you can source some Mithril for your next chain mail endeavour. :D If you venture into Khazad-Dûm, beware Durin’s Bane. A Balrog?

Re: One of these has just arrived..

@tikkathree Given the small bag with the bracelet link, I assume the omega is a new arrival. :D Think again oh great JAFO. The oe Flightmaster bracelet is away with Mr Freese for a minor fettle and in the meantime the watch has been sitting on the grey Sandra Visser rally strap. I picked up the raz...

One of these has just arrived..

Can you guess which?

Two of the others have been subjected to a new Uncle Seiko bracelet fitting and the fourth is today's watch.

Thank you Guy!

Re: Vertex M100 Watch Review

And I'm reading a thread from 2017 which even then pointed to a review of an over-priced piece of weekend warrior toybox (but only if you know another weekend warrior)?

But you guys have sown the seeds for a delicious diversion; on the one hand my Christmas and New Year plans are causing me to lose sleep over the delivery of my FLE 2023 and o...

Re: WR testing by CW after repair/service

Water resistance testing is an emotive subject as can be clearly seen by this thread. The reality is, unless your watch is ISO certified, my understanding is it’s up to the manufacturers discretion how it is tested. The water resistance rating on non certified watches is a product of the design tha...
